Increasing the Speed Of pitchers.

New YORK, March % Manager Kelly,
OF the Louisville club, has adopted scheme
by which the speed Of pitchers can be
greatly increased. The pitcher will be re-
quired to practice with two pound iron
ball, and the man who will pitch in each
game will use it about half an hour before
time is called After having handled the
iron ball for few minutes an ordinary ball
will feel light as feather and can be thrown
with great speed. All that viii be required
this year, Kelly says, is speed and control Of
the ball Curves will not amount to much.
